Catalogue Note
The length of the dhoti to below the knee and the arrangement of the sash relate to early Indian sculpture. Male figures in Pre-Angkor sculpture are usually depicted wearing shorter garments, but the style can also be seen in early sculpture from peninsular Thailand all of which suggests a transference of iconography from India to the region of Southeast Asia whereupon indigenous features developed. Cf: Sherman E. Lee, Ancient Cambodian Sculpture, New York, 1969, p. 40, fig. 4.
